Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

1 ½ cups thin pretzels

Chocolate Layer

1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand recommended)

Marshmallow Layer

10 ounces large marshmallows (about 27 marshmallows)

For Serving

Graham crackers (for dipping)

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet or any oven-safe pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Layer Pretzels: Evenly spread the 1 ½ cups of thin pretzels on the bottom of the prepared skillet to form a crunchy base for your dip.
Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of dark chocolate chips evenly over the pretzel layer, allowing the chocolate to melt into a rich, decadent layer.
Top with Marshmallows: Arrange the 10 ounces of large marshmallows gently touching one another to cover the chocolate chips completely, creating a uniform top layer that will toast beautifully.
Bake the Dip: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes, carefully watching to prevent the marshmallows from burning. If the marshmallows don’t brown sufficiently, switch the oven to broil and place the skillet under the broiler for a few seconds until the marshmallows are golden brown. Be vigilant as marshmallows can burn quickly under the broiler.
Serve Warm: Remove the skillet carefully from the oven and serve the gooey dip warm with graham crackers for dipping, enjoying a nostalgic and delicious s’mores experience without the campfire.

Notes

Use a cast iron skillet or any oven-safe pan to bake the dip evenly and retain heat for serving.
Keep a close eye on marshmallows while baking and broiling to avoid burning – they can turn from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips are recommended for their rich flavor and smooth melting properties, but any good quality dark chocolate chips will work.
For a twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt over the pretzels before layering the chocolate to enhance the sweet and salty flavor.
If you don’t have graham crackers, sturdy cookies or pretzels can also be used for dipping.
